County Kerry

Mountains, Peninsulas, Coastlines, and Historic Routes

From the mountains of MacGillycuddy's Reeks to the Atlantic coastlines of the Iveragh, Dingle, and Beara peninsulas, County Kerry contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by geology, weather, and centuries of history. Trails such as the Kerry Way, Dingle Way, and Beara Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including Killarney National Park, the Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula, and the Skellig Coast showcase some of Ireland's most distinctive natural environments.

Long-distance routes pass through mountain terrain, coastal landscapes, woodland, river valleys, farmland, and historic settlements, linking places that have shaped the character of County Kerry for generations. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the character of the county while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
